I just started water kefiring thanks to Sandra - it sure is fun trying new blends. I've tried ginger in the primary ferment but I'll have to try your ginger "tea" method. Actually today I was planning on using some homemade ginger ale in a second ferment to see how that goes. I don't know that I've seen water kefir in the store yet - although Good Belly has a probiotic drink that is very similar. You're right it is so easy (and fun) to make at home.

]]> Comment on Is food grade mineral oil really food safe? by Chris http://naturalhealthgoodies.com/47/is-food-grade-mineral-oil-really-food-safe/comment-page-1#comment-768 Chris Wed, 08 Feb 2012 15:24:11 +0000 http://naturalhealthgoodies.com/?p=47#comment-768 That's a good find, however I still think flax seed oil could be a problem long term. The Omega 3 oils can start to break down and go rancid so that may not be a good option for cutting boards. That’s a good find, however I still think flax seed oil could be a problem long term.

You can also try cleaning it with hydrogen peroxide - that will get rid of any bad bacteria as well.

The kefir grains seem to like it as well. Sometimes I put chunks of fresh ginger straight into the water with the grains but more recently I've been grating ginger, pouring boiling water over it, letting it cool to room temp, then straining the "tea" into the grains. It gives a wonderfully gingery flavor, the grains love it, and I don't have to fish out chunks or tie anything up in a bag. I'm now seeing water kefir in the store. I can't believe that people will pay that much money for something that's so cheap and easy to make at home :) Ginger is my favorite “flavoring.” The kefir grains seem to like it as well.

I have used mineral oil on wooden knife handles, but I would not use it on the cutting board. I will try the linseed oil.

Unless your board is an expensive, aesthetic thing of beauty, why not do as I? I keep a spray bottle of rubbing alcohol in the kitchen. If you are concerned about trapped food like chopped eggs causing problems, just spray and rub a bit, and it will be cleaner than when you first received it. Fascinating about the coconut and castor, however. As someone above mentioned, why not leave as is? Unless your board is an expensive, aesthetic thing of beauty, why not do as I?
